INSTALLATION: WF-5300 Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter

CAUTION!

The electrical installation must conform to the local electrical codes and should be carried out by

a certied technician. The safe installation of an inverter requires some knowledge and skill. Only

a qualied technician should perform this electrical work.

Turning the inverter o does not disconnect the batteries or ac power source. Therefore, the ac

output will still be active if there is any other power source, such as shore power, generator, etc.

Shock Hazard. Before proceeding further, carefully check that the inverter is NOT connected to

any batteries, and that all wiring is disconnected from any electrical sources such as shore

power,

generator, etc. Do not connect the output terminals of the inverter to an incoming AC source.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Always turn o or disconnect all power sources (ac and dc) before working on any of the wir-

ing. Do not restore power until the wiring is complete and fully inspected.

• Be very careful about polarity and correct wiring terminations. Be sure to check the wire colors

and make sure they are connected correctly. If there is any doubt about wire colors or

connections, check the connections at the other end of the wire and make sure it is connected

as expected. For dc circuits, the wiring polarity is critical to avoid damage. With ac circuits, the

line, neutral, and ground must each be connected to its intended terminal to avoid a very

dangerous result.

• Do not expose the Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge, or dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not

cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. To avoid overheating, do not install the inverter in a

zero-clearance compartment.

• To avoid the risk of re and electric shock, please make sure that existing wiring is in good

electrical condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with

damaged or substandard wiring.

• This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks.

• To prevent re or explosion do not install in compartments containing vented batteries or

ammable materials or in locations which require ignition protected equipment. This includes

any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, joints, ttings, or other

connection between components of the fuel system.

• Separate over-current protection for the AC output circuit shall be provided as necessary.
